Information Arunè V. would like to know about your pet

Although I hardly turn down dog sitting a dog, I like to know anything that I can about the dog so it's always helpful to know if they are shy, aggressive, territorial or have any other issues or past traumatic experiences. This is helpful in making sure that I can provide exactly the care that would be most suitable for the doggy. I always follow whatever schedule your pup is used to and feeding routines, so that they feel as comfortable as at home.

A typical day

CUDDLING! I love cuddling. I do also enjoy seeing what tricks your dog knows and the outdoors is my favorite place so there will be lots of ball throwing, swimming, gardening, running around in the yard and games. I love to organize fun and engaging activities that keep pets happy and stimulated. Depending on their personality and preferences, I enjoy playing fetch, going for walks or outings, and providing interactive toys to keep their minds active. I also love snuggling and giving gentle massage or petting to help them relax and feel loved. If they enjoy it, I’m happy to incorporate training exercises or teach new tricks to keep their brains busy. My goal is to make sure your pets have a joyful, enriching experience while in my care!

Our sweet lab Tommy was abandoned in a shelter in the beginning of his life and after we rescued him he really was not easy to left behind whenever we had to travel. We tried several pet hotels and also pet sitters but nobody was able to handle it like Arune. She really spends her time at home so is able to offer constant care which is what Tommy needed I think. I think she is sort of a dog whisperer in my eyes!

GREAT PLACE! Left Lady, my terrier mix girl for two weeks with Arune and it was such a pleasure. Got photos daily and Lady seemed truly happy and not at all stressed when I came back to get her. She sometimes suffers from anxiety and separation issues but received so much attention there that this wasn't a problem. Definitely will stay with her again.

I was so nervous to leave my pooch but had no choice as I had to fly to take care of my mother who was ill and couldn't take him with me so I eventually decided on Arune to watch him and it was the best decision I made! She was so patient with me and answered the hundreds of emails I sent asking about how he was doing and also sent me so many photos! Put my mind at ease the entire time. He was so happy there just playing ball with her and chasing the other boy dog, I don't think he was home sick at all. Really would never worry about leaving him again and especially if she is watching him.

Oh wow this lady is nice! I think she prefers dogs to people as my dog was spoiled rotten there. He actually didn't seem happy to go back home with me... but I have had her watch him now several times and honestly the nicest lady and such a nice home too.
